Why is Imbacillis weak not dim?

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I guess the etymology of the English word imbecile comes from a Latin word meaning physically weak.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Exactly. It came to mean "mentally weak."

Imbécillis. They're not germy or diseased

(well they might be but that's not the only way to be weak)
